[QUOTE="Fredkrueger100, post: 3123697, member: 24577"] I am seeing a lot of people calling a pit a “large” breed. They are not a large breed dog. They are medium. My female isn’t over 50 pounds. Most males get up to about 75-80 pounds. When they get bigger than that a lot of the time they are a mix between a mastiff and a pit bull. This happens all the time. People are trying to make pits these massive, imposing dogs. It’s just like people that crop their ears. They do it to make the dog look more aggressive or to fight them. Either way it lends more negativity towards the breed. These dogs are a working breed. That’s where the high energy comes from. I think some on here don’t know much about dogs. ALL dogs have a very powerful bite. Even toy breeds have strong bites. I will agree though that a pit has a very strong bite. They are also very strong dogs in general. We walk with our pit all the time and she does great. Even when she sees other dogs. It’s when a dog shows aggression that she starts to protect us. She rarely barks unless there is something out of the ordinary. If a dog in the neighborhood comes up and doesn’t bark and act aggressive my pit just smells of them. But the second they try and bark or growl she goes into protect mode. I like that about my dog. I want her to protect us. I also have a fenced yard and don’t ever let her out without a leash. I have neighbors that let theirs roam around free. I won’t do thag out of respect for others. These dogs get tons of negative publicity because of dirtbags that shouldn’t have a dog in the first place. A lot of thugs have these dogs to try and be tough. Because for some reason having a mean dog makes you tough. These poor dogs don’t get a say so in who their owners are. And when they get raised a certain way and end up hurting someone it’s akways the dogs fault. At least when it’s a pit.
